Information & Reviews

Hotel Description

The Grapes is probably one on the most famous pubs in Southampton due to its prominent location on Oxford Street and its historical connection to The Titanic.

Formally a haunt for sailors and seafaring folk of all types, The Grapes now fits into the more modern cosmopolitan feel of Oxford Street’s “Café Culture”.

The Grapes still has the all important traditional feel of a proper boozer but with a modern twist. The pool table, live music and big screens contribute to the popularity of the venue and the friendly atmosphere and efficient staff ensure that The Grapes is the pub to drink in.

We serve a wide range of national and local real ales and have a splendid wine list selected by Enotria wines and a wine preservation system that ensures a perfect glass every time.

At The Grapes we are real sport fans and show a wide range of sports to accommodate all tastes. There is a strong Southampton F.C. following (we are a 15 minute walk to the stadium) and on home games we are always packed with a friendly atmosphere and many families and children in attendance.

Whether you want a quiet drink after work or a fun, lively place to watch the match The Grapes is the place to be – see you there!

Great location 4 months ago

I just stayed here the one night before catching a flight from Southampton airport but would have been very happy to stay longer. Spotless and comfortable rooms, very well equipped. The location is excellent as is the breakfast served right next door at the superb Docks Café

The Grapes is highly recommended. The staff is friendly and the rooms and tidy and clean.
On the ground floor, the pub is nice.
Additionally, the location is handy, especially for business meetings.

Friendly staff, confortable bed 9 months ago

Had a good stay at the Grapes Inn. You get discount on breakfast next door and on drinks at the bar, if you're so inlcined. Room was clean and comfortable. Not well soundproofed (older-style drop windows) so so you can hear everythingon the street: if you're there at the weekend good luck! Fortunately I stayed on a week day and it was relatively quiet. otherwise a great stay, Thanks!

Thank you so much!!! I had an amazing time! 1 year ago

Loved this place!!! Just the perfect place for the solo traveler. Super clean, close to everything, and an awesome staff. Stayed there before heading out on a cruise, and would love to stay there again. First time using Air BnB, but I'm so glad I did, the Grapes was so much better than a stuffy expensive hotel

Wonderful location, clean rooms, and best of all - excellent hosts! 1 year ago

Thank you to all the team at The Grapes. From the minute I arrived, till I left - they were helpful & kind. I left my keys at a family's home & while waiting for them to be dropped off- the team were very helpful by letting me into my room. I also had to request a change of room to a family room - and again, the management & team were accommodating & very helpful. Brilliant location, lovely room & most importantly, wonderful team! Thank you all. x

Great place for a short stay in Southampton 1 year ago

Rooms over a traditional pub in a central location, the waterfront & high street shopping are within a 5-10 minute walk. I stayed in an en-suite single room, which, while not large, was perfectly acceptable for a solo traveller. It was clean & looked well kept with a comfortable bed, wardrobe built into an alcove, chest of drawers, TV, & tea/coffee tray. The only possible downside is that the rooms are on the 3rd floor, so would probably not be suitable for anyone unable to climb several sets of stairs.
Paul, the manager, was very helpful & friendly, carrying my luggage up to the room (& down again on my departure), inviting my travel companion (who also booked independently into the Grapes) & I to join him & a friend for a drink prior to ordering us a taxi for our onward journey.
We stayed prior to a cruise, the terminal is probably walk-able if you don't have too much luggage or a less than 5 min taxi ride. We also found our room key gave us a discount at the Pizza Express opposite, where we ate that evening, there are several other eating places in Oxford St where I assume you get the same.

Fabulous night 2 years ago

Had a nights break away and stayed at the Grapes, had an absolutely fabulous time, the room was really spacious, clean and tidy and the bed was just sooooo comfortable.
The pub itself is really amazing and pays great tribute to the Titanic. Paul the manager explained all about the history and was a stupendous host, well done Paul and Terri for giving us a great night one that'll we'll remember for some time to come.
Would strongly recommend anyone wanting a night in southampton to stay at The Grapes.

I was visiting the National Oceanography Centre for work, and The Grapes was the cheapest and closest option available, which made it ideal for me! Being above a sports bar that hosts regular live music, I can imagine later in the week a little noise may drift up to the rooms but since my stay was Sunday to Wednesday I heard nothing at all from downstairs and my room faced the back (I know Oxford Street, out the front, can get quite busy on certain nights) so my sleep was nice and peaceful. Upon arriving and entering the bar with my suitcase I was immediately recognised by one of the bar staff as a B&B booking and shown up to my room. I was booked into Room 5 originally, but after reading another review about the internet connection being very poor (this was confirmed, and I needed internet access for my work), I was very kindly moved into Room 6 where the signal was a lot better. Everything was nice and clean, nice towels and complimentary soaps and plenty of tea/coffee to last me my whole stay, and the big TV was a welcome luxury. I was a bit cautious about using the plugs by the bed as the fixture's coming away from the wall, but overall it was great value for money and ideal for my purpose. The biggest downside is that there is no breakfast service, and the nearby cafés opened too late for me to get anything on the way to the NOC, but there are several shops very nearby where you can buy breakfast snacks for yourself in advance if you're up early. As for evening meals, there are loads of great choices right on the doorstep and many have a takeaway option. In all a pleasant stay, I will definitely book here again!
